Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, signs on as a contributor to Fox News

Los Angeles Times

One month after leaving the Democratic Party, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is joining Fox News as a paid contributor.

A representative for the conservative-leaning cable channel confirmed Gabbard signed a deal Monday and will start appearing on its programs next week.

Gabbard, 41, pursued the 2020 Democratic nomination for president. But she has been distancing herself from the party ever since and has appeared as a frequent guest on Fox News, including its most-watched shows, "The Five" and "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

When Gabbard ran for president, Hillary Clinton, the party's 2016 nominee and former secretary of state, called Gabbard "a favorite of the Russians" and suggested she would run as a third-party candidate in order to get Donald Trump reelected.

She went around the country campaigning for every reich-wanting lunatic out there
In competitive races she backed: Oz, Bolduc, Laxalt, and Masters for senate.
Dixon, Lake, Mastriano and the guy running in WI for gov

Just remember her as the backer of losers or as the turncoat hack
It's easier

However I think she should have gone with Russian State Media instead.

She's on Fox now, right?

Fox has become everything republicans used to say Al Jazeera would become in opposition to U.S. security. They're a terrorist supporting network and a definite threat to democracy.

It doesn't get any worse than that, and Ms. Gabbard is now a paid propagandist for that terrorist supporting network.

Great career choice, Tulsi. 😒

Tee supply of right-wing losers keeps growing while demand for unhinged ranting shrinks.

Should be able to buy them pretty cheap.

Yet, her holdouts are still like, "Yeah, but she never SAID she was gonna join the Republican party!"

Unreal...
